I love to entertain on our patio. Our family loves the comfortable swing and, the candles glowing in the evening while we visit about the GOOD OLD DAYS!

We live in rural America and

I want to

share with you a country 4TH of July

tablescape.

The inspiration for this tablescape came from the four dessert plates

I bought at Tuesday Morning a few months ago. Open-air dining is a rite of the season, combining the casualness of a picnic with the convenience of a close-at-hand kitchen.

The old red, white, and blue can take many forms on a tabletop steeped in nostalgia.

The Shasta Daisy is the perfect flower for Summer. I uses this red enamel coffee pot in our RV

and when we sold it, I started using it as a vase.

The patriotic theme is so fitting with these four plates.

As Americans we love our freedom.

Peace in the world is the goal desired.

The definition of Glory~is a state of great splendor, magnificence or prosperity.

We are so proud of our liberty we have in America

"The Founding Fathers made an appropriate choice when they selected the bald eagle as the emblem of the nation. The fierce beauty and proud independence of this great bird aptly symbolizes the strength and freedom of America."

Summer afternoon-

English language.

A 4TH of July luncheon for two

If the outside temperature reaches triple digits it's time to come into the house.

Thank you for visiting My Cozy Corner to celebrate my Country 4TH of July.

New valance, new plant, candles and my handmade soap in some apothecary jars.

The new valance is made from a twin size bed dust ruffle I found at TM for a nifty price. My favorite store.

I used the same 2 1/2" hardware that had been used to hang the peach valance for 21 years.

I think it was time for a change. It was so easy to sew with all the hemming done. I just turned the top over and made the header.

The fabric is eyelet and most of the labor was done by a professional source. I have priced

ready made valances and custom made valances and fabric to make the valance. I made this one in less than a day. With ripping, sewing, and hanging. Very Thrifty!! Yes?

I have added a new look with my new Orchid (Phalaenopsis) plant. When my last endeavor to grow Begonias in the bathroom failed. I thought a softer, more neutral colored plant would look attractive. And with my neutral colored valance the orchid is perfect.

I chose a moth orchid because its colorful, long-lasting, and simple to grow.

The reflection in the mirror looks like I have two orchids.

A few changes on the etagere .

Some sea shells, candle, handmade soap, and handmade bath salts too.

I love my angels!

Handmade soap with a french Fleur-de-lis.

Vintage looking towels to finish off the softer look.

I love the new look of my Guest Bathroom.
Thanks for stopping by! I hope you have enjoyed your visit to My Cozy Corner.
